Estimated Discard and Catch of Groundfish Species in the 2024 US. West Coast Fisheries

Key Points

To estimate fishing mortality for groundfish species and compare it to annual catch limits for 2024.
Updated historical fishing mortality data from 2002 to 2023.
Estimated mortality for 2024 using present models.
Compared 2024 estimates with established annual catch limits.
Updated estimates indicate trends in groundfish mortality over the years.
The 2024 estimates show potential discrepancies with annual catch limits.
Management implications reveal the need for regulatory adjustments based on updated data.

Abstract

The primary objectives of this report are to: 1) update estimated fishing mortality of groundfish species in U.S. West Coast fisheries in 2002 to 2023, 2) provide mortality estimates for 2024, and 3) compare the 2024 estimates to annual catch limits (ACLs). These management specifications are published in the federal groundfish regulations for selected groundfish species (USOFR 2001, 2015).
